Daily Quote

“Before, young girls thought my life was perfect. Now they realize it's not. Nobody's perfect. I'm living the same human life that they are, just with a more public career. The assault came at the end of an incredible year for me, career-wise. Now I kind of look back on it as the beginning of a new era, almost like it was a wake-up call for me. It was a massive turning point for me in my life.” - Rihanna
